Corporate Scholarship Programs

IIE West Coast is proud to manage scholarship programs for many local corporations with a large global presence. IIE West Coast corporate scholarship programs include:

Adobe Multinational Scholarship Program
Chevron REACH International Scholarship Program
Dole Food Company Inc. International Scholarship Program
Levi Strauss Foundation International Scholarship Program
LSI Logic Corporation Chairman's International Scholarship Program
Mattel Global Scholarship Program

West Coast corporations such as Adobe Systems Inc., Chevron Corporation, Dole Food Company, Levi Strauss & Co., LSI Logic, and Mattel, Inc. look to the Institute of International Education to help them gain an edge in the exploding global marketplace. IIE helps corporations cost-effectively implement their global strategies through a range of programs, including corporate scholarship programs. As the most comprehensive private, non-profit U.S. education and training organization — and proven manager of successful scholarship programs for the private and public sectors — IIE can assure companies that international programs are soundly designed and professionally administered and take into account the complexities of global operations.

To meet corporations' business and philanthropic goals worldwide, IIE offers a range of professional management services. IIE corporate programs include scholarships for children of international employees and scholarship programs for host country nationals, as well as tools for recruiting U.S. trained international employees.

Community Outreach Awards
Community Outreach Awards offer corporations an ideal opportunity to build goodwill in the local community where you do business. For example, the Adobe Multinational Scholarship Program, administered by the IIE West Coast Center and funded by the Adobe Systems Inc., awards scholarships to meritorious secondary school students attending Adobe Partner Schools in selected countries who plan to enter a post-secondary degree program in engineering, math, science, education, business, design studies, graphic art or graphic design and who need financial assistance to achieve their educational goals. If you have questions, please contact adobe@iie.org.

Children of Employee Scholarships
Scholarships for children of employees are a key employee benefit that builds staff loyalty, morale and retention while contributing to host-country goodwill. IIE develops and administers a range of these programs for corporations and corporate foundations. Each program is individually designed, and may include full or partial scholarship awards for study in the United States, the home country, or a third country for children of overseas-based employees or for overseas study by children of U.S.-based employees. Services provided by the Institute include publicity and recruitment, selection (including convening of impartial selection panels), evaluating financial need, awarding and administering scholarships, and monitoring scholarship winners.

Many companies already sponsor U.S.-based awards, such as National Merit Scholarships, for the children of their U.S. employees, but do not have awards for children of their overseas employees. IIE's experience of more than 85 years in international educational exchange offers companies a simple and proven method of designing and implementing international scholarships for children of employees. As the oldest and most experienced private, non-profit U.S. educational exchange organization [IRS 501 (c)(3)], IIE can assure companies that international programs are soundly designed and professionally administered.
